Branching Fractions and CP Asymmetries of the Quasi-Two-Body Decays in within PQCD Approach
Motivated by the first untagged decay-time-integrated amplitude analysis of
decays performed by LHCb collaboration, where the
decay amplitudes are modeled to contain the resonant contributions from
intermediate resonances , and , we
comprehensively investigate the quasi-two-body decays, and calculate the branching fractions and
the time-dependent asymmetries within the perturbative QCD approach based
on the factorization. In the quasi-two-body space region the calculated
branching fractions with the considered intermediate resonances are in good
agreement with the experimental results of LHCb by adopting proper pair
wave function, describing the interaction between the kaon and pion in the
pair. Furthermore,within the obtained branching fractions of the
quasi-two-body decays, we also calculate the branching fractions of
corresponding two-body decays, and the results consist with the LHCb
measurements and the earlier studies with errors. For these considered decays,
since the final states are not flavour-specific, the time-dependent could
be measured. We calculate six -violation observables, which can be tested
in the ongoing LHCb experiment.Comment: 20 page
Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa-favored decays to a scalar meson and a meson
Within the perturbative QCD approach, we investigated the
Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa-favored ("" denoting the
scalar meson) decays on the basis of the two-quark picture. Supposing the
scalar mesons are the ground states or the first excited states, we calculated
the the branching ratios of 72 decay modes. Most of the branching ratios are in
the range to , which can be tested in the ongoing LHCb
experiment and the forthcoming Belle-II experiment. Some decays, such as and , could be used to probe the inner structure and the character
of the scalar mesons, if the experiments are available. In addition, the ratios
between the and provide a potential way to determine the mixing
angle between and . Moreover, since in the standard model
these decays occur only through tree operators and have no asymmetries,
any deviation will be signal of the new physics beyond the standard model.Comment: 2 figures, 6 table
Background Subtraction via Generalized Fused Lasso Foreground Modeling
Background Subtraction (BS) is one of the key steps in video analysis. Many
background models have been proposed and achieved promising performance on
public data sets. However, due to challenges such as illumination change,
dynamic background etc. the resulted foreground segmentation often consists of
holes as well as background noise. In this regard, we consider generalized
fused lasso regularization to quest for intact structured foregrounds. Together
with certain assumptions about the background, such as the low-rank assumption
or the sparse-composition assumption (depending on whether pure background
frames are provided), we formulate BS as a matrix decomposition problem using
regularization terms for both the foreground and background matrices. Moreover,
under the proposed formulation, the two generally distinctive background
assumptions can be solved in a unified manner. The optimization was carried out
via applying the augmented Lagrange multiplier (ALM) method in such a way that
a fast parametric-flow algorithm is used for updating the foreground matrix.
Experimental results on several popular BS data sets demonstrate the advantage
of the proposed model compared to state-of-the-arts
